well I'm just trying to avoid the future confusion by at least trying to adhere towards the set guidelines.
I know, I'm just messing with you, high. Just vocalizing my support for d's supposed masterpiece.
Hell yeah. You're mind will literally be blown, maybe, but there's a 50% chance I'm lying, possibly.
I agree with Xenon. Do scrap the word limit. If it is too long for some readers, then the reader is at liberty not to read it. Even shorter entries might be difficult to understand.
I would have been against the idea of imposing a word limit on this event to begin with had I noticed the initial discussion about one. However, I think we should just stick with having the limit at 6,000 at this point. I'd say it's well known that this isn't a super strict event, but who knows? Maybe someone out there has been torturing themselves on how to cut down their story to fit. They spend hours making it perfect, post it, and then discover that there's no longer a word limit. I don't know how they'd react, but I'd lose my shit.
